I made this card using the L Letterpress by Lifestyle Crafts.

And did you know that the L Letterpress platform works in

most leading die-cutting machines such as:

Epic 6

Big Shot

Vagabond

Cuttlebug, and more...

Here are some easy instructions on how to use the L Letterpress

1.) Open the L Letterpress and place an adhesive-backed printing plate on the clear lid.

2.) Ink the printing plate evenly with the brayer tool.

3.) Place paper in desired location on base of letterpress tool. (Use registration grid and Paper Placement Guides for greater accuracy and alignment)

4.) Close lid and roll L Letterpress through Epic tool. (For a deeper impression, add additional packing sheet)

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

I {Heart} To Travel

I'm having some fun today with Lessology Challenge #11 - Flights of Fantasy!

{Make a project that incorporates FLIGHT in an innovative way}

and

{include 1 recycled/upcycled item in your project}

I took a {recycled} kraft box and dressed it up for a friend who likes to travel. I got the wooden airplane at Michael's years ago and finally decided to use it. I added a circle of fun patterned paper and an "I heart travel" sticker to the top. The front of the box is dressed up with fun Really Reasonable Ribbon.

P.S. - A sweet blogger also urged me to link this up at Decorate to Celebrate since I incorporated "blue" into my project. :)

You have all month long to play at Lessology. Entries are not due until March 4th. You can win this fabulous prize pack from Jenny Johns - The Ippity Chick! Hope to see you all enter into this fun challenge!

A Monday Morning Party

Happy Monday everyone!

I've got a party going on and a special offer for everyone today!

Have you heard of Lifestyle Crafts? They have some super amazing products and I want to show one of them to you today. And they have allowed me to share a special offer too.

Just enter the promo code "COKIE" at checkout to receive 20% off of your order. How cool is that?

I made these favor boxes using the Popcorn Box Die.

They are so super cute for party decor or party favors.

Did you know that Lifestyle Crafts dies work with these die cutting machines:

 Epic 6

Big Shot

Vagabond

Cuttlebug, and more...

If you already have a die cutting machine then you will want to add the Popcorn Box die to your collection.

The adorable Birthday banners are from Pretty Little Studio. And for extra added fun - be sure to use double sided paper when you use the dies. It's so fun to have a pretty pattern on the inside of the design too.

I'll be showing off more Lifestyle Crafts products each week so stay tuned!

The Twinery & CPS Have Some Fun!

The Twinery is having some fun with today with the

Card Positioning Systems Challenge!

Here's the CPS Sketch

I made a baby card for one of my co-workers who is excited about the arrival of her first grandchild. Now it's your turn! Pop on over to CPS and play. The Twinery is sponsoring this week and is giving away a fabulous Sampler Pack of baker's twine.

And if you like the yummy baker's twine colors that I used on my card, you can find the Honey Dew and Shore colors in The Twinery Shop!

See back tomorrow for a fun new project!

Love Bots

My students and I are munching on yummy chocolates,

cupcakes, and cookies today!

{Hopefully I won't gain 10 pounds by the time the dismissal bell rings}

I made these "Love Bots" creations to pass out at school today.

I'm wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day!

Hey Monday!

I smiled when I first saw this little dude!

He is really an embellishment for a Smash Book...but I wanted to use him to make a card. I always make girly cards and want to start making some masculine ones too. This one is for the fun Create Blog challenge (ribbon tabs).

For a bit of fun I added some canvas and of course my ribbon tabs. The striped ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Hope you like this little dude as much as I do!

Creating with Wood - Day 2

If you missed Day 1 in the series please click {HERE}

Welcome back to Day 2 of "Creating with Wood". I'm having some fun on my blog this week by creating various projects with wood elements on them. Today's post will feature wooden skewers and mini wooden clothespins.

I also created a CAS card for the

Cas-ual Fridays "On the Red Carpet" challenge.

I was inspired by the movie "Baby Mama" with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. I laugh so much every time that I see this one. It's one of my fave comedies. :)



I really love using wooden skewers. If you don't want to buy any, just ask your waiter or waitress to snag you some before you leave your fave restaurant. :)

I made this elephant skewer to stick inside of a cupcake for a baby shower.

I hope you all are enjoying the series this week. Stop back by tomorrow for Day 3 of "Creating with Wood". The Samantha Walker Blog Hop will debut tomorrow too. :)

Creating with Wood - Day 1

I've got a little fun for you guys this week!

I'm kicking today off with 4 fun-filled days of projects that are created with wood elements. I hope you enjoy day number one!

I created this project for Lessology Challenge #11 - Flights of Fancy. The challenge starts today and requires you to make a project that incorporates flight! Jenny Johns is offering a fabulous prize pack of Ippity stamps. How cool is that? Click {here} for all the details!!!

I got the little wooden birdie from Michael's. I thought about painting it white, but changed my mind because I like the natural wood color. I used a glue dot to add a piece of recycled canvas and a mulberry paper flower to my little birdie to dress it up a bit.

I also made a coordinating mini card with

more of the recycled canvas!

Be sure to join me again tomorrow for Day 2 of - "Creating with Wood". And don't forget to hop on over to LESSology to check out the DT sneaks and to join in on all the fun!

Simple, Flat, & Sweet

Happy Wednesday ya'll!!!

I had not planned on taking a bloggy break this week, but things have been super duper busy at school this week. There are sooo many standardized tests to focus on. I think my student's brains have turned to mush by now. :(

Here's a flat "thank you" notecard that I made using My Little Shoebox and an SRM Sticker.

I've been working behind the scenes on some super brand new projects. I can't reveal them yet but stay tuned for a whole lotta fun coming up here on my blog.

And have you been keeping up with all of the CHA product reveals? I love seeing all of the yummy goodies. I'm doing some extra tutoring for the next three months to support my craft shopping addiction...LOL

And have you seen some of the new Pretty Little Studio products? As a new member of their design team I am so excited that I get to work with yummies likes these. You can find these on the PLS website. Be sure to check these out...

Be Back Soon...Hugs!!!
